Reduction of propofol injection pain by utilizing the gate control theory by Sae Young Kim, Dong Wook Jeong, Min-Woo Jung, Jin Mo Kim

“…Currently, acute and chronic pain can be controlled by utilizing the "gate control" theory.MethodsPatients were randomized to receive lidocaine (0.5 mg/kg; Group L), touch on IV injection site (Group T), combination lidocaine (0.5 mg/kg) and touch on IV injection site (Group B), or normal saline (Group S) with venous occlusion for 1 minute, followed by administration of propofol (0.5 mg/kg) into the largest dorsal vein of the hand. …”

Inside the Scrambler Therapy, a Noninvasive Treatment of Chronic Neuropathic and Cancer Pain: From the Gate Control Theory to the Active Principle of Information by Giuseppe Marineo

“…Scrambler therapy (ST) is an electro-analgesia therapy for the noninvasive treatment of chronic neuropathic and cancer pain based on a new generation of medical device that uses 5 artificial neurons and is based on a novel theoretical model the differs from gate control theory. The active principle with Scrambler Therapy is such that synthetic “non-pain” information is transmitted by C fiber surface receptors. …”

Evaluation of the Bonapace Method: a specific educational intervention to reduce pain during childbirth by Bonapace J, Chaillet N, Gaumond I, Paul-Savoie E, March, S

“…The BM involves the father, or a significant partner, in the use of several pain control techniques based on three neurophysiological pain modulation models: (1) controlling the central nervous system through breathing, relaxation, and cognitive structuring; (2) using non-painful stimuli as described in the Gate Control Theory; and (3) recruiting descending inhibition by hyperstimulation of acupressure trigger points.Methods: A multicenter case control study in Quebec on pain perception during labor and delivery compared traditional childbirth training programs (TCTPs) and the BM. …”
